• passing of the key:
  • In Egyptian mythology, the heart was the key to the afterlife. The god Anubis would weigh the heart of a deceased person against an ostrich feather (representing truth); if the heart weighed less than the feather, the soul was deemed worthy of the afterlife; if the heart was heavier, it was immediately devoured by the demon Ammit. When King Tutankhamun's remains were discovered, his heart was missing, presumed stolen.
  • in Boucicault's Arrah-na-Pogue, Arrah's foster brother had previously escaped from prison with the help of a message she had passed to him in a kiss (a two-tongue common)
